While the TTT trailer is supposed to appear in front of ‘Red Dragon’ in the US (and one correspondent in Germany saw it in front of ‘Minority Report’) we can’t urge strongly enough: If you’re just seeing some movie in the hopes of catching the TTT trailer on the big screen, IT PAYS TO CHECK FIRST with the cinema staff. Certain cinemas don’t have it or decide, for their own reasons, to attach the trailer to something else.
Day: October 8, 2002
For the premier of TTT in Sweden/Helsingborg some major plans are being made. At least 15 great-looking uruk-hais will be inside the cinema entry. And a forest will be built up inside where we will lurk, so the people that come to see TTT have to go through our nest. If they dare to cross our path, they will be well met by Elves, knights and other friendly creatures. The orcs will charge at the knight sometimes, capture a nice fellows’ girlfriend ;). There are great things going on here in Sweden.

New York, NY (October 1, 2002) – Serious USA takes fans on an interactive adventure into the fantastical world of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers with a brand new collection of digital trading cards inspired by the characters and quests of the much-anticipated sequel to last year’s blockbuster from New Line Cinema, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. With four trading card-sized CD Cardz based on each of the four cultures of Middle Earth—Hobbits, Rohirrim, Saruman and Warriors—Serious’ new line of digital collectibles explores the worlds of twelve Lord of the Rings characters with bios, behind-the-scenes footage, photos and more!
“The depth of The Lord of the Rings storylines and cast of characters gave us a wonderful opportunity to offer fans a collection of digital collectibles rich in design and content,” said Neil Birk, Director of Sales and Marketing, Serious USA. ”The effort that the Serious team has put into recreating the magic and mystery of The Two Towers is reflected in every facet of the set, from the vibrant layout and effects of each card, to the vivid depiction of each character’s adventures.”
Echoing the ominous powers of the Ring that propel the storyline of The Lord of the Rings, fans use the magical Ring to navigate through the content of each of the CD Cardz, exploring the different featured characters’ areas of interest. Mystical sound effects and movie sound bites highlight the transition from one interactive area to the next, as the sinister burning eye of the Dark Lord Sauron appears throughout the digital journey as a frequent reminder of the evil forces that shadow The Lord of the Rings adventures. By exploring the Cardz’ map of Middle Earth, users uncover “hot spots” to download exclusive The Two Towers wallpaper and screensavers.
Serious’ new collection of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers CD Cardz will be available in November for a suggested retail price of $14.99. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
The highly-anticipated second installment of the trilogy from New Line Cinema, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, will premiere in December 2002. For more information about New Line Cinema’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, go to www.lordoftherings.net
